food crisis [end times]

Zhu Yan first said: "You heard it wrong, we are talking about Crown Prince Pill of Yan Kingdom."

An Wei really didn't realize it, Xiang Luo was a good assist, and explained: "There are so many generous and tragic people in the land of Yanzhao."

Zhu Yan nodded.

Anwei looked at the two of them and said, "You guys are quite educated."

Xiang Luo only said: "I've never heard of Guo Xgang at first glance."

The matter was covered up, and the few people took advantage of the opportunity to look at the yard again.The yard was tidy and clean, but after two years, the pile of firewood had obviously shrunk by half.

"How long do you think these firewood can last? Those dead trees on the mountain should not last long. If the trees are all burned, wouldn't it be possible to burn coal?"

But summer is really not suitable for burning coal.Especially in the hot summer, the heat in the house itself is quite unbearable, and I always cook outside.This also wastes burning resources.

"Actually, the firewood in the past could never be burned out, and it would only accumulate more and more. Even some of the firewood stored in the early years were rotten and could not be burned, and they were thrown out one by one." Xiang Luo looked at the pile of firewood, still thinking Quite a bit emotional.

"I used to throw away the things I ate, but now I can't compare with the past." Zhu Yan patted Xiang Luo on the shoulder and pulled him home.

Everything inside and outside here has been entrusted, and no matter how much you say, it seems that you don't trust people.

The next day, Xiang Luo went to Xiang Yan's house, explained the time to go out, and listened to Xiang Yan's nagging for a long time.

Xiang Zongle still couldn't speak, but looked at Xiang Luo curiously with his small eyes.Although Xiang Luo didn't have much affection for this little guy, he still wanted him to have a good time.Since entering Xiang Yan's house, the child has grown stronger and more lively.Xiang Yan would take him with her when she went to work, and this kid was very popular wherever he went.

It's just a pity that I haven't been able to speak.

At the beginning, everyone was looking forward to Xiang Zongle's ability to overcome the psychological shadow and stutter to communicate with others like a normal child.

But the child is now raised, it is not so important.It's good to be raised well.

It's hard to imagine, if Qian Shurou continues to raise such a child, what kind of situation will he develop in the end.

That night, without telling Yuan Shuo, Xiang Luo and his two secretly picked out a male, a female, two pigs and a few little rabbits from the space and put them on the car. Talking to him takes his attention and his gaze.

An Wei took the initiative to talk to him when he had nothing to say, and Yuan Shuo was happy even if he did it on purpose, so he naturally cooperated with An Wei on increasingly embarrassing topics.

Then the next morning, everyone in the village knew that Xiang Luo was leaving, and most of the people in the village came out to deliver, and some even brought something for them to eat on the way.For example, pancakes that can be stored for a long time, or some canned food.

Xiang Luo also knew their kindness, as long as it was not too expensive, he would accept it.

By the time we got to the entrance of the village, the car was already half full.There weren't many seats in the first place, and now it's hard to move around.

The soldier standing guard at the gate glanced inside the car, and Xiang Luo, who was driving, asked helplessly, "Do you still need to check?"

There are many Xiangluos in and out of the village.After a long time, the entry and exit checks are not so strict.

The soldier waved his hand: "Go, anyway, what you take out is something from the village. But when you come back, you have to check it carefully."

Xiang Luo smiled and said, "You are so afraid that I will bring something back."

In fact, we all know that this is a regulation, and people also follow the regulation.

The soldier joked, "I'm afraid you'll bring back the big girl and hide it."

"Tsk, forget about the big girl, you can try the good-looking young man." As soon as Xiang Luo finished speaking, Zhu Yan had already stepped on him.

Only then did the soldier get serious: "I'm serious. You should pay more attention to safety when you go out, and don't trust others. It's best not to bring everyone back. Now people's hearts are complicated, and no one knows what the people brought back will fight. Such an abacus."

The soldiers are sincerely thinking about the whole village.

Xiang Luo nodded and said, "Don't worry, we know what's going on."

The soldier thought about it, and was a little envious: "It's good if you can go out and have a look. Just come back and tell us what's going on outside now."

These fighters have only been to the border area at most, and they went there during the tense period before last year.But after withdrawing from the front line, they no longer knew what was going on there.

Xiang Luo nodded in response, then turned around and nodded to Zhu Yan.

As soon as the glass was put on, I heard a pig cry from behind.

Xiang Luo twitched the corners of his lips, thankfully it was a little earlier.

According to the previously planned route, we still walk along the next door, and then take advantage of the trend to get on the expressway.The high speed belongs to the official road, and official vehicles often go there. Robbers are generally unwilling to take advantage of this bad luck to tamper with it.

But this time I came out with some hard currency. First, I bought it because I thought I would find something good, and second, it was considered road money.When you meet a robber, send it out casually. One thing more is worse than one thing less.Of course, if they encounter difficult ones, they also have ways to deal with them.

It was also thanks to the fact that the village sent a lot of things to cover up what was hidden behind the car.

When he was about to reach the neighboring county this time, Xiang Luo couldn't help but feel a little dazed.The last time I came here was to deal with Zhou Xingfeng, this time they were busy with their own affairs.

Ever since Zhou Xingfeng's incident, Xiang Luo was somewhat resistant to this side, so he didn't come here much.But this time, it was a bit embarrassing to look at it all the way.

Zhu Yan stood up, Xiang Luo drove a little slower, and looked at Zhu Yan strangely through the rearview mirror.It was only then that Zhu Yan touched the things sent by the village, and they disappeared wherever he went.

Zhu Yan sold it directly using the system.

Xiang Luo twitched the corners of his lips.Anyway, it's freed up the space in the RV.

But the things at the back didn't move much, Zhu Yan hid the pig and the rabbit.

Pigs are actually covered by glass, and there are special ventilation holes connected to the outside.Not for anything else, the main reason is that the smell of pig is too strong.If it wasn't for pretending to be a fake from outside, Xiang Luo wouldn't have taken it with him at all.It's better to bring a litter of rabbits, they are soft and cute, and if you are hungry on the road, you can kill two for a tooth-dashing festival.

The distinction between pets and food items is quite clear.The rabbit is really cute, but the meat is too fragrant.

Zhu Yan sold everything, and finally came back with two extra gold bars in his hand.It was exchanged for half a car.

"It's quite valuable." Xiang Luo took a look and commented.

Zhu Yan put the gold bars into the drawer of the car behind.Said: "It's not much. We have enough food and clothing in our village. The things that are very common in our village may be quite precious when taken to other places. The prices given in the system are based on actual prices."

"That's not a lot, and I can bring them some gifts in return when I go back." Xiang Luo said.

"These two pigs and rabbits are the biggest gifts." Zhu Yan said, "There is no need to take them with you for pigs, and not every family has the energy and willingness to raise pigs. Put them in our own home, and we have enough conditions to raise them well." But if they are spread out, the conditions of each household are different, if they are raised to death, the loss will be too great."

If a pig dies of illness, even a wealthy family like Xiang Luo will feel distressed to death.

It would be nice to have rabbits for those who want to raise them.In the case of pigs, they must be bred to tens of thousands before they can be purchased and circulated freely.

"If you buy it from the official side, you must give it to them, and there are wealthy businessmen." Xiang Luo said.

Zhu Yan said: "The official is sure, but for Boss Zhang, it is enough to sell it to Zhang Jinnan. Anyway, Zhang Jinnan is in the village, and he has already built two factories himself."

"Too."

The car moved forward slowly.The days have been getting hotter and hotter these days, but the warm weather has broadened the field of vision a lot. Unlike the winter, there is only cold white snow on both sides of the road under the blizzard.If you are a person who is afraid of loneliness, driving in it alone will be uncomfortable to death.

It is actually a good experience to drive while looking at the scenery along the road.

The speed of the car was not fast, and the two of them thought this road was their honeymoon trip, and there was nothing in the world of the two of them, not even a big treasure.

It is also a kind of happiness to just go and eat wherever you go, without having to bother about factories and business, and without having to deal with the trivial matters of firewood, rice, oil and salt.

Passing by the next-door city, I walked all the way to the south and southwest. I checked the map from time to time to check the situation. When I encountered a place with a good view, I stopped to look for a while.

Zhu Yan was held back for nearly two years after the apocalypse, while Xiang Luo hadn't come out much in his life.Naturally, everything is fresh along the way.

"It's a pity. I should have walked out more while I was still there. Now it's bare everywhere. No matter how fresh the scenery is, it's boring." Xiang Luo said with some regret.

"The sense of decadence in the wasteland is not necessarily a bad thing." Zhu Yan said with a smile, "I remember when you were in school, didn't you also like to play end-apocalyptic games?"

"It happened to be popular at that time, but I played a few after that. I liked playing it at that time. It was completely different from the world at that time. What I played was such a novelty. But it is different now. When the land is barren At that time, what you want to play will become green mountains and green waters.”

Because there is no shortage, so I like it.Those that do not correspond to reality.If the conditions of the past are still there, and games such as wasteland and zombies are released, it is estimated that no one will play them.

The reality is already so decadent, even if it is easier to succeed in the game, no one is willing to waste time and effort to work harder.

"But if there is any more, I still want to play." Zhu Yan said.

"So you're not short."

The car drove another way, and it was almost noon.I passed through a few more villages, and it was almost dinner time, but I didn't see a single family with cooking smoke.

This is actually not uncommon.In the countryside before the end of the world, only two meals were eaten during the slack season.First, it saves trouble, and second, since you don’t do heavy physical work, eating more is also a waste.After the end of the world, this meal will naturally be reduced even more. I am afraid that there are not a few people who only eat one meal a day.

Looking at the dilapidated villages along the road, it seems to be back in the 80s of last century.If it weren't for the colored steel roof that was replaced on the roof, which could bring a little trace of the pre-apocalyptic world, this trance would really be similar to old age.

I didn't see cooking smoke in other places, but the two of them should have dinner.

Get off the highway and drive the car to a place with a wide view.There are two power generation windmills on the car, which are connected to this battery.

The electricity generated by wind power is not large, but it is just enough to eat three meals a day and charge the electronic devices that you carry with you.Even if it is not enough, there are spare alcohol blocks and coal in the car.At present, solid alcohol has been quite popular, and the price is relatively low.Every household can afford it, and even if it runs out, you can just go to the local official to buy it.

Anyway, it's the first meal out, so you can't cook too much, but don't wrong yourself.I also brought some vacuum-packed vegetables when I came out. These must be eaten within a few days, otherwise it will be a pity.Just fried spinach with garlic, stir-fried tribute vegetables and stewed duck with potatoes.Potato stewed duck is actually cooked at home, and when it is half cold, it is packed in a vacuum bag and frozen.The refrigerator in the car can be stored, so I brought a lot of these pre-processed ingredients before leaving, and they taste quite good after cooking them in a pot.

Such three dishes, in the past, were nothing more than ordinary dishes on the table of ordinary families, but in this world, I am afraid that 90.00% of people would not even dare to think about it.

There is only a little bit of each dish.

The home-cooked dishes of Northeast China, which has always been known for its two top-notch dishes, had to reduce the size of a plate infinitely under the influence of the apocalypse.Whatever you say, you have to finish it in one meal, so as not to waste it.The current set is estimated to be less than one-fifth of the end of the world.

But enough is enough.

The staple food is boiled vermicelli.The smooth noodles are served with the dishes, and one person eats two bowls until the dishes are cleaned up.

After I wiped my mouth after eating, I realized that lunch alone was delayed for two hours.

In fact, if you just drive on the road, it really doesn't take long to get to the capital.But I can't stand these two wasting time like this.

The two were in no hurry about this, and even wanted to take a nap.

Zhu Yan yawned and looked out of the car.

"Someone is here."

Xiang Luo probed over, and it took a while to see two people coming out from the corner of the village entrance in the distance.Because of the distance, the person looks about the size of a peanut.But look at the direction they are going, they are coming here.

"Looking for us?" Xiang Luo wondered.

"Maybe they saw the smoke from our cooking just now. Let's go, don't be regarded as robbers by them." In this world, everyone is on guard against each other, and they only think of others with the most sinister thoughts.This is the way of survival in the end times.After all, not all villages are as well protected as the people in Shili Village, so they are so simple.

In case a sentence is wrong, if they have a guy in their hands, it will be more harm than good to raise their hands.

Before he was sure, Xiang Luo didn't plan to have too much contact with strangers.

Sitting in the driver's seat, stepping on the accelerator, twisting and turning, and going on the highway again.After waiting for a while, the two scrawny men came over.Look at the tire marks, the traces of propping up the shelves when cooking, and the noodles and vegetable leaves that fell on the ground inadvertently.

"This food is pretty good. It shouldn't be some bad guy. Compared with this, there is nothing to grab in our village." The taller man said.

"Who knows, let's see if he will come again. If he comes again, he can't take it lightly."

The official relief food has also become less and less.It's more of the kind of unpalatable protein lumps that can barely sustain a person's life.

Because there are more pieces of protein, its value becomes less and less. In the past, the value of protein far exceeded that of multigrain biscuits, but now the mutual value has been equal.In the future, I am afraid that protein blocks will be exchanged for food to eat.

Although protein is very important, carbohydrates are also indispensable and precious food.

The two looked down at something that fell on the ground. If the other person wasn't there, they both wanted to pick it up, take it back, wash it, and eat it.

Noodles are made of white flour, green vegetables, they have almost forgotten what green is like.

It turns out that there are still people living so well in this world.

This day, I don't know when it will end.

If you are full at noon, you will have little energy in the afternoon.Xiang Luo drove for about an hour, and Zhu Yan replaced him.Xiang Luo found a USB flash drive and played some music with a strong sense of rhythm, and looked at the map: "In the evening, you should be able to go to the county in front. I remember that I used to do tourism here. Do you want to stay there? Turn around?"

Even if it is to see the scenery, at most it is a high-speed transfer to the national highway.If you say nothing, you will not go to those ordinary roads, and the risks there will increase exponentially.

"Go to the county over there and have a look. If you check in the car, you won't go in. Check if there is any bottled water, and prepare a little more water. I want to eat hot pot tomorrow."

Eating hot pot not only uses a little more water when cooking the hot pot, but also consumes a lot of water when brushing the hot pot after eating.It is best to ensure that the water is clean after brushing to avoid contaminating the tableware.

Although you can use alcohol to disinfect the dishes before eating, but in the environment of the end of the world, after the water is polluted, a layer of green spots may grow on the plates, which is a bit disgusting.

The car drove a little faster, and Xiang Luo went to see the rabbits and pigs behind him.It may be that they have started to get motion sickness, and their condition is not very good.Zhu Yan bought the best feed and nutritional supplements from the system, mixed them and fed them.

It may be because livestock have become extremely scarce after the end of the world, and a lot of feed for raising them in the past has also been stockpiled, which also caused the feed in the system to be very cheap.

And the products produced by the system must be high-quality products.Livestock that eat the feed in the system not only grow fast and well, but also hardly get sick, and look stronger than humans.

They got motion sickness and got up to eat when they smelled the feed.After eating, I was completely refreshed.

Xiang Luo drove the last section of the road, and when the sun was westward, he arrived at the place marked on the map.

After driving in for a while, I saw the intercepted checkpoint.Xiang Luo lowered the car window and asked, "Excuse me, do you want to check the inside of the car?"

"If you're only outside, you don't need it. If you walk in, there is a commercial street. When you enter the car, you must check what you have brought in."

"Wouldn't it be unnecessary for that person to go in?" Xiang Luo asked.

The man nodded: "Just show me what you brought in."

Xiang Luo and the two registered and drove the car in, and then stopped the car outside the commercial street.There is a special parking place outside the commercial street, and the car should be locked.Not afraid of being missed.

The main task of the two is to buy water, and they also want to see if there are other new things by the way.

As a result, not long after I entered the commercial street, I was caught by the owner of a stall when I passed by:

"Xiang Luo! You are Xiang Luo, right!"
